Nursery - Autumn1 - Week 8

Date: 16th Oct 2024 @ 2:33pm

We have had a wonderful start to Nursery, the children have been enjoying exploring all of the exciting activities available to them and getting to know new friends. We are also encouraging and supporting the children with their independence. We are very proud of how well they have settled and the fun they have had. Well done!

• This half term the children have particularly enjoyed Learning all about Harvest and Autumn, they have listened to the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’ where they got to taste different types of bread and also bake their own bread roll.

Other highlights include:

• Making a Scarecrow for the Scarecrow festival at St Peter’s Church.
• Forest school where they have learnt about safety around the ‘Fire Circle’ and talked about the different rules and routines. The children learnt how to leave the fire circle safely and also the calling sound used for the children to listen out for when exploring, this indicates a return to the circle.
• Celebrated ‘Dot Day’ the children enjoyed making their own mark using a variety of different media for example paint, crayons, chalk and pencils and were very proud to display their work in our art gallery.
• Sharing Autumn treasures with their friends and talking about the differences happening to the world around them.
• Our Stay and Play sessions, the children have enjoyed showing parents and carers around their classroom and the areas they like to play in.
• Going on our first school trip by visiting the Young Explorers forest group at Laurels wood.

Have a lovely half term break.

Reminders for next half term:

• PE will continue on a Monday please can your child come to school wearing trainers on this day only.
